As the title says, are there any non aligned chaos things? Yes I know about furies and the soul forge. No they don't count, nor does Bel'Akor.

Are there any lore incidents of a daemon getting severed from its god, or an IG grunt getting infected with some warp stuff and going rogue fighting the chaos gods, or something?

Just wondering.

It's chaos, so within the warp, sure. But if that entity has the power to project into reality easily is more difficult.

IIRC there's actually predatory animals IN the warp itself, that are a neutral force to Chaos itself.

Old fluff has Malal or something. He was a chaos enitity that disrupted the plans of the big 4.

Daemons are simply extensions of a Chaos God's consciousness, you can't severe a Daemon from it's God. The only way I can think of there being warp entities without an alignment would be 'Daemons' of an aspect of human emotion that isn't strong enough to birth a Chaos God.

Arent Furies unaligned Daemons?

Yes they are.

I would imagine there are tons of them hiding out in the warp, keeping out of the attentions of the more powerful Daemons of the four gods. Probably at the same status of power as Bloodletters and Plaguebearers.

The one thing GW has never really done is expand on the things that would follow Chaos Undivided.

I'd say GW more or less got rid of Chaos undivided. Yes, there is always the phrase that there are other, weaker entities than the big 4, but since 6th edition Furies and Soulgrinders have to choose one of the big 4 as well and as we all know there's no real mark of Chaos undivided anymore for CSM.

So yes, there probably are still other things present in the warp, but no rules, models or fluff goes into details about them, the big 4 rule.

Malal, or Malice, the 'Anti-God' of Chaos still gets frequent nods in the fluff. Certainly sufficient that it's reasonable to figure he's still about. There was also Drach'nyen, or Anathema.

Chaos Gods aren't ALL that it is on the warp. They are the most powerfull entities, with other entities existing (Or not) like the Emperor, Gork and Mork, the Eldar Gods, and a TON of small entities that are more in the power leve lof daemons than gods that aren't aligned with one of the 4.

I've always thought the smaller chaos things would be interesting to explore a bit. I like chaos undivided, and i like the idea that beliefs and emotions of smaller groups could cause smaller gods to blink in and out of existence.

The Warp is a reflection of all emotion and thought in the galaxy. It’s just that the inherently awful nature of the 40k universe means the predominant emotions reflected in the Warp coalesced into the 4 big nasties. There’s still everything else in there. Daemonic entities of love, or kindness, or peace are also possible. They’re just likely to be very small and insignificant.

Bolded part, I'm not so sure that Gork and Mork (or Mork and Gork) are weaker than the Chaos gods. There's some fluff where they beat Khorne or Nurgle without breaking a sweat.

I've always thought the 'positive' emotions are covered by the big four.

Kindness? Nurgle
Justice? Khorne
Hope? Tzeenetch
Love? Slaanesh

The big four are not made of 'evil' emotions. ANY emotion taken to an extreme produces evil behaviour; love might be the 'greatest' of human emotions, but a quick google will find you numerous instances of when someone's 'love' led to them doing something utterly horrible. Likewise, 'rage' might be seen as a bad emotion . . . unless someone is so furious about an injustice that the campaign relentlessly to get an injustice overturned.

The lesson to learn from the big four is the importance of moderation.

On Topic: Daemons are a part of a god and cannot be severed from it. However there are weaker daemons such as furies who never 'belonged' to a Chaos god and therefore remain independent. Some of the Daemon Princes have some independence due to being mortal. However as they are now a part of their god they cannot act against their interest. There are also beings like the Enslavers who exist in the warp but have never been connected to one of the big four (but aren't exactly daemons either). Evidence of the existence of other gods remains inconsistent/unconfirmed.

All fluff notes that Gork/Mork are substantially stronger than the Big Four.

Be'lakor is unaligned.

Citation needed. Some fluff has suggested that Nurgle got the snot beaten out of him by these pair but that is it, and even that legend is ambiguous.

Gork and Mork power, just like Nurgle, is very inconsistent. Probably in times of very big Waaaghs! Like Ullanor, or The Beast saga, etc... they could become more powerfull than the big 4, just like Nurgle becomes the most powerfull Chaos God in times of great galactic plagues.

But in a "general" sense I believe Gork and Mork are at least less powerfull than Khorne and Tzeentch, the Top 2 of the Chaos Gods. I believe they are probably more powerfull than Slaanesh all the time.

Nuffle is a Chaos God in the Warp. Just remember to pray to him... or not. Nuffle does not care if you pray to him or not. There is no known way to avoid his attentions, or to draw them.

I imagine non-Aligned daemonic entities as being animalistic, with anything approaching sentience being reserved for ones created/empowered by the 4 Gods.
